Summary: Eve was framed
Comment: As a student wishing to embark in a career in the law. This book opened my eyes to the incriminating state of british 'justice'. Written in a clear, succinct style, Helena Kennedy excels in a field where many other lawyers would dare to tread. Well worth the read either for those who specialise in the law, or for the layman who should be told that such inadequacies lie in our judicial system.

Summary: A must for any female in Law or in fact business
Comment: I read this book as part of a reading list for my Law Degree, at the time I was dubious about reading it and approached is as a chore, thank goodness I did. Since that time I have followed Helena Kennedys work even though I did not follow a career in law.She is not making a 'feminist' statement more of a detailed backed up comment on the injustice women receive in law, particulary if you are not in the 'middle - upper class' and young women entering law would be wise to read this to keep you focussed on your goal. This book is and has been a huge inspiration to me throughout my career. Thank you Helena

Summary: An accurate and enjoyable review of the English Legal System
Comment: Helena Kennedy reviews numerous examples of the treatment of women at the hands of the English Legal system. The result is a highly readable exposition of the reality of the system, while managing to refrain from emotive campaigning. All lawyers should read this book.

Summary: Changed my outlook on the British legal system
Comment: This book is one i think every budding young lawyer (especially female) should read. It highlights the injustices women suffer at the hands of the law in a consistent and well argued manner. This is not the work of a paranoid feminist, Kennedy quotes and gives details of numerous cases which make her argument totally believable. This has got to be one of the most important books i've ever read, it's a shame it hasn't received the good publicity it deserves.
